In the first photo, it definitely looks blue but in the second one teal. Both look nice!

I read an article about the rising insurance rates a few weeks ago that made a point of making sure your insurance agent pointed out to the underwriters how you were obviously an above-average and most assuredly exemplary pilot with a demonstrated quest for excellence based on your Wings levels...

I'm a new Sport Pilot ASEL and will start working on my gyro endorsement next week. I've been advised that Sport Pilots should stick with Basic Wings and that you can keep earning levels indefinitely. True? Also, do the insurance underwriters take notice of what kind of aircraft you do the...

Autogyro MTO Sport is the only option I can think of that meets your requirements.

Interesting, thank you!

What does "patting" mean?
